York Zoo - a different kind of Zoo 09/16/09







We haven't been to the zoo this year so I decided to take the kids to the York Zoo in Maine. I thought the kids would enjoy seeing the animals and learning about them.
The girls were specifically looking for the elephants and large snakes.... and to our surprise there weren't any ! We also did not see any giraffes, rhinos,or hippos ! This is very unusual for a zoo but instead we were able to see other rare and exotic type animals... Like the a baboon with a red and white beak, a wildebeast (like the one in the animated movie The Wild), a large bird with a bright blue head, black camels (or ewes I think) and a merkat looking animal with a bat face and a raccoon tail. All very interesting !!!
The girls favorite part was feeding all the goats and deer ....and they also loved the alligators (that looked like they were smiling). The girls were yelling at them "go gators". It was sooo cute ! We had a fun day and stayed til closing.
